DIARY OF A FOREST MONK
based on the true stories of forest monks at ReWild University
Venture into the wilderness for four months of adventure, soul-crushing challenges, and insight into the deepest aspects of human nature.
Hidden in the forests of Wisconsin is a wilderness school unlike any other . . . .
In a land of towering pines, wolves, and secret lakes, people leave behind the trappings of society to become forest monks, delving deep into meditation, martial arts, tracking, foraging, and the skills of our ancient ancestors.
This is the story of one such forest monk.
Kenton Whitman has woven together an account that, though fiction, is pulled from the experiences of many of the forest monks who attended ReWild University. From being charged by bears, suffering through Lyme disease, finding peace with mosquitoes, and discovering their inner wisdom, the extraordinary adventures of the forest monks have been blended thoughtfully together to give the reader a rare glimpse into what happens when modern humans venture into the wild.
For everyone who has dreamed of escaping into the wilderness to find themselves, Diary of a Forest Monk brings you along for four months of adventure, learning, facing fears and discovering who you really are.
CHASING TURKEYS
lessons in lifes’s wisdom,
one wild turkey chase at a time
An impossible quest, life lessons learned, and inspiration all wrapped up in a laugh-out-loud turkey tale!
Join Kenton fifteen years ago, as he embarks on a life-transformative quest to chase after a wild turkey and catch it by hand (then let it go). During his year of intensive training, he wrangles baby cows, experiences the folly of playing paint-ball with his wife, and learns lessons about hypothermia, rewilding, and never giving up. Culminating in a series of turkey chases set in one of Wisconsin’s most brutal winters ever, Kenton discovers that the turkeys have led him to something more profound than he expected — a new understanding of life’s meaning, of human’s connection with nature, and the importance of chasing after our dreams, no matter how improbable they may be.
